GLOUCESTER AND IPSWICH, MASS. 39 

Hardy Perennial and 
Rock Plants 
We offer here a selection of leading new and outstand- 
ing perennial novelties, grown and propagated at our own 
nurseries, where the climate is humid in the summer, cold, 
with bitter winds, in the winters. These extremes of weath- 
er produce rugged plants,.so we are confident they will 
thrive almost anywhere. 
The material we offer is strong, field-grown stock with 
the exception of some varieties which transplant better 
from pots. 
We strongly advise the purchase of perennials in 
quantities of 3 or more of one kind, since a group of 3 or 
more plants makes a much more striking and effective 
color mass in the garden. Please remember that 6 or more 
plants of one variety may be purchased at the dozen rate. 
Note.—Figures after the description and blooming dates 
represent the approximate height reached by the peren- 
nials under favorable conditions.
